The invention relates to a working medium circuit for a hydrodynamic machine which is arranged in a drive train with a drive motor which comprises at least in each case one rotor and stator blade wheel (18, 19) which are arranged in a common housing and form a toroidal working chamber (2) with one another, which working chamber (2) can be filled with and emptied of working medium in order to switch the hydrodynamic machine on and off, wherein the working medium circuit has a working medium container (5), an inflow line (13), an emptying line (14), a heat exchanger (6), and means (20, 11), by means of which the working medium can be moved out of the working medium container (5) into the working chamber (2) for a first operating state, in particular the braking mode, and the working medium can be moved out of the working chamber (2) back into the working medium container (5) for a second operating state, in particular the non-braking mode, wherein the circulation of the working liquid is brought about by way of the rotor blade wheel (18). In order to achieve improved operational readiness, it is proposed that, for aerating and ventilating, the working chamber (2) is connected at least indirectly via a ventilating line (3) to a chamber (4) which has a ventilating means (9) with respect to the surroundings and in which working medium can collect. |
